I have modified two distributors as per Jon's instructions using all GM pieces. The engine starts every time, it allows me to run a wider gap on the plugs, burns hotter and more complete. Most people don't notice the difference in the distributor. I won't be going back to points.

I believe Jon has found the fault with the Pertronix unit, the question is can it be corrected?
